no worries thanks
hope you're fine!
if you had to choose between
Resistance and Control in Pakistan
by Akbar S. Ahmed (August 26, 2004)
or
The Thistle and the Drone: How America's War on Terror Became a Global War on Tribal Islam
by Akbar Ahmed (March 11, 2013)
which would it be?
I'm fine thank you....how are you ?
It would depend really - As I understand both try to make sense about the US War on Terror & the reaction to that in the Muslim World....I hear that the 'Thistle and the Drone' is packed with case-studies so it may serve as being more empirical than most books out there seeing that Akbar S Ahmed is an Anthropologist !
The other book - Resistance & Control in Pakistan - isn't something that I've read though it may explore the topic more from a Pakistani perspective !
I'd go for the Thistle and the Drone but thats just me...though I dunno how either would be relevant in the context of Pakistan's Foreign Policy !
